Sun | Because We Care®

Wearing sunscreen is one of the most important things you can do to protect your skin from the harmful effects of the sun. The sun’s UV rays can cause skin damage, premature aging, and even skin cancer. Here are a few reminders why wearing sunscreen is so important:

Protection from UV rays: Sunscreen provides a barrier against the sun’s harmful UV rays, which can cause skin damage and increase your risk of skin cancer.
Prevents premature aging: Sun damage can cause premature aging, including wrinkles, fine lines, and age spots. Wearing sunscreen can help prevent these signs of aging and keep your skin looking youthful.
Reduces the risk of skin cancer: Wearing sunscreen regularly can significantly reduce your risk of developing skin cancer. According to the American Academy of Dermatology, wearing sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher can reduce your risk of developing skin cancer by up to 50%.
Can be applied easily: Applying sunscreen is a quick and easy step in your daily routine. Choose a sunscreen that works for your skin type and can be easily incorporated into your morning routine.

Remember to apply sunscreen every day, even when it’s cloudy outside, and reapply every two hours if you’re spending time outdoors. Protecting your skin now can help prevent skin damage and keep it looking healthy and beautiful for years to come.

The two best ingredients in sunscreen are:

Zinc oxide: Zinc oxide is a physical blocker that reflects and scatters UV rays away from the skin. It provides broad-spectrum protection against both UVA and UVB rays and is highly effective at preventing sunburn and skin damage. Zinc oxide is also gentle on the skin and is less likely to cause irritation or allergic reactions than chemical sunscreens.
Titanium dioxide: Titanium dioxide is another physical blocker that works in a similar way to zinc oxide. It also provides broad-spectrum protection against UVA and UVB rays and is highly effective at preventing sunburn and skin damage. Like zinc oxide, titanium dioxide is gentle on the skin and is less likely to cause irritation or allergic reactions than chemical sunscreens.

Both zinc oxide and titanium dioxide are natural minerals that are safe and effective for all skin types, including sensitive skin. When choosing a sunscreen, look for products that contain at least one of these ingredients and have an SPF of 30 or higher. Applying sunscreen regularly and as directed can help protect your skin from the harmful effects of the sun and reduce your risk of skin damage and skin cancer.
